Scientists Detect Precise Origin of Mysterious Signal From Deep Space

futurism.com Unknown 2025-11-08 04:30:20

For almost two decades, astronomers have been trying in vain to explain extremely bright flashes of radio bursts emanating from deep space. Despite only lighting up for a tiny fraction of a second, these fast radio bursts (FRBs) have been known to release as much energy as the Sun puts out in an entire year. Now, in what's being called a "turning point," an international team of researchers has traced back the location of the origin of one of the brightest FRBs ever detected, allowing them to

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority A lot of things have been falling by the wayside as I deal with work and life, including my chores, plans to make scheduled appointments, and other general tasks I need to complete in my daily life. I even nearly lost my phone number of 20 years. But as my garden turns to shambles and that cupboard remains unsorted and overflowing, one thing that I don’t want to compromise on is my pets’ health.

Notion’s offline mode might just make me ditch Obsidian

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority Notion is one of my favorite tools. From databases to to-do lists, tracking restaurants I wanted to check out, and so much more, I’ve dabbled in it for years until I finally made the switch to Obsidian. That’s mostly because of Notion’s one fatal flaw. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless. The moment you lose internet, the app effectively becomes useless.

You might get a secret discount offer when you go to cancel Apple TV+

Apple TV+ just announced a 30% price rise, which may convince some subscribers to cancel and churn out for a while. However, the company seems to be prepared to mitigate for that somewhat. Users on Reddit discovered that when they went to cancel their subscription in the Apple TV app, they were presented with a 54% discount offer for two months. This limited time offer brings the price down from $12.99 to $5.99. After the two months price reduction, the subscription would return to the standar
